$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have cared for my family member in different moments of their lives, from my brother's children to both my grandmas, as well for family pets. From that, I became confident in my abilities, care and compassion even when things get a little messy. I have treated caregiving as a side-hustle for a long time, sometimes being a child's cook or by giving an injured iguana, a bath (I also help my veterinarian friend sometimes!). You can trust me with your loved ones as I will take care of them as if they were my family.

Hello! I'm truly passionate about working with children and helping them grow in a safe, caring, and fun environment. I currently work as a Teacher Assistant at Chicago Public Schools, where I support first-grade students (ages 6-7) with daily classroom activities, as well as help build their reading, writing, and communication skills. I hold a Bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I'm fluent in both English and Spanish. I am also a graduate student and working towards my Masters degree in Early Childhood Education. I love being outdoors, encouraging kids to explore, ask questions, and learn through play and discovery. Whether it's helping with homework, planning creative activities, or simply being a positive role model. I'd love the opportunity to bring my experience, patience, and energy to your family!

Fun loving, energetic, creative, responsible, and experienced care taker, looking for any occasional, part-time, or full-time opportunities that are a great fit! Took time off from my real estate career to spend time doing what I truly love and am passionate about - taking care of kids and helping them grow! Sports fanatic, who loves dancing, singing, art projects, traveling, cooking, baking and animals! For the last 5 years I’ve been a Nanny & House Manager for 3 different families, working with children ranging from newborn to 12 years old! Most recently, I just finished a 2 year long position working for a family with 3 children, who are currently 1 years old, 4 years old and 6 years old. I was with them since the oldest two were 2 and 4, and have been caring for the 1 year old since she was born! Very flexible schedule, live in Logan Square, have a car and absolutely willing to use it! Open to discussing any opportunities or answering questions, feel free to reach out!

Hi there! I am the ideal 21- year-old babysitter if you're searching for someone who is responsible, courteous, gregarious, professional, and bilingual. Born & raised in the city of Chicago I’ve always enjoyed being outdoors. I know my way around the whole city, with that being hopefully I can take your kid and or kiddos to a museum or park, etc! I was the only female student on my campus to graduate with a biliteracy seal on her diploma. I hold both national and international certifications. I also graduated with honors. I presided over a club in middle school and the drill flag team (majorette with a flag) in high school. I enjoy baking and cooking, and I don't mind doing so for an additional fee. With me, I hope to be able to help your children feel secure and at ease not only with them but the parent(s) as well.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."

Eric D., dad of two
